Put an Include directive inside Directory in a vhost with puppet - puppet

Question

Is there any way to create a "Directory" in a vhost and put inside an "Include" with Puppet?
Like this:
<Directory "/var/www">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Require all granted
Include /etc/apache2/myconf.d/htpasswd.conf
</Directory>
I did it with "custom_fragment" but I would like to do with "additional_includes", but "additional_includes" can't use it inside the variable "directories".
Is there any another way?
Thanks.

Answer 1

I assume you are using Puppet Enterprise or the PLAM.
It has indeed no native support for what you are trying. custom_fragment is actually a very good choice here.
If you really want to add the include through a dedicated hash key, you can modify the module and open a pull request. You will basically have to add a section like the existing ones to the template. Also, some brief documentation. The guys love pull requests ;-)

Looks like you're looking for an array?
if you are using the puppetlabs module, you can use "additional_includes"
additional_includes
Specifies paths to additional static, vhost-specific Apache configuration files. Useful for implementing a unique, custom configuration not supported by this module. Can be an array. Defaults to '[]'.

apache::vhost { 'myvhost.whaterver.com':
port => 8080,
docroot => '/var/www/folder',
directories => [
{ 'path' => '/var/www/folder',
'options' => 'None',
'allow_override' => 'None',
'order' => 'Allow,Deny',
'allow' => 'from All',
'additional_includes' => ['/etc/apache2/myconf.d/htpasswd.conf', 'other settings'],
},],
`

Here a snippet that works for me:
class {'apache':
default_vhost => false,
}
apache::vhost {'mydefault':
port => 80,
docroot => '/var/www/html',
directories => [
{
'path' => '/var/www/html',
'provider' => 'files',
},
{
'path' => '/media/my_builds',
'options' => 'Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews',
'allowoverride' => 'None',
'require' => 'all granted',
'additional_includes' => ['what Randy Black said'],
},
],
aliases => [
{
alias => '/my_builds',
path => '/media/my_builds',
},
],
}
